These benefits result from the formation of an intermetallic compound (epsilom iron nitride) on the surface of the treated component, strengthened and supported by the diffusion of nitrogen.
Excellent black decorative appearance. Unlike electrolytic coatings, there is no hydrogen embrittlement with ARCOR
These steps entail the sequence:
When quenched to develop the full properties, treated parts have a characteristic matt black finish and for many applications no further treatment is necessary.
When operating against plastic or rubber seals, soft bearing metals or simply because a superior cosmetic appearance is required, the components are polished.
Optimum colour and corrosion properties are restored by a short passivation treatment in the quench bath.
Treating ferrous materials (steel, cast iron, stainless steel and Inconel alloys) at temperatures typically between 540°C and 580°C and treatment times between 30 and 210 minutes.
TSUK is home to the largest nitrocarburising baths in the UK, we can treat parts up to 1 metre in diameter and 3.2 metres in length.
Excellent black decorative appearance, lower & stabilise friction values.
